I have quite a few of these in my kitchen, used with 50W MR16 bulbs and

According to this they are rated 12v AC, and should only be used with
MR16 bulbs.

I would like to replace the transformers + bulbs with mains GU10 LED
bulbs instead.

Any reason why this shouldn't be done?


PS: they are a pretty old model (mine were bought 10+ years ago), and
are no longer available, so well before LED downlights became available.

The connector on an MR16 is different from a GU10. Assuming you can buy
the correct mains tails with the GU 10 connector, don't see why not.


Sorry, should have mentioned that I was going to replace the connectors
of course.
